Hey, Ya'll... Thought you could hide from the ol' hillbilly??? Guess again...

Hey, folks...

First of all, I've been a memebr now for, oh, 3 minutes so I figured that was plenty of time to jump right in and make a fool of myself... Some of you know me as "Bobert"...

I ain't looked at all the members as yet but I know Ted Crocker, alian the Rockerman, who made "The Back Porcher" fir me.... I know John Lowe and play one of his Lowebows... Jawbone played some harp on a song I recorded a few years back... I'll check everyone else out later...

Oh, I play it the way I feel it and I ain't particularally tied to 1-4-5 chord structure or 12 bar...

That's ''bout it fir now...

Hey, Rockerman..., You hidin' out from me, 'er what??? Here I go build this wonderful apartment and shop fir ya and even trapped a nasty pigeon fir ya' and what do I hear from ya'??? Well, ahhhh, nuthin'... That's what... I'm takin' yer sorry butt off my Christmas card list...

(Yo, Bobz... He ain't on yer lousy Christmas card list... Might o' fact, you don't send Christmas cards...)

Details... Here's what I'm gonna do... I'm gonna make a New Years resolution to send Christmas cards, then I'm gonna make a list of folks to send 'um to which is fonn ahve yer name on it, then I'm gonna erase yer name... Yeah, that's what Iz gonna do...

Awww, jus' funnin'...

Now don't get all weepy eyed and think ya' gotta call me tonight 'casue I'm gonna go out to the TV room and watch the VaTeck football game... Okay... But really, the hotel is coming along nicely and you need to come down and see what the ol' hillbilly has to offer ya'....

Oh, I made up the pigeon part... I shot a bunch of the sumabichs, tho, 'casue they ahd to go... But they we're no parrots sneaked in the bunch... I promise....
Thankx fir the assist, Rockerman... Musta lost my head playin' my Lowebow at this years Getaway up in Deale, Maryland.... Just been pickin' on it this mornin' 'cause I gotta a little performance tonight where I don't think anyone has even so much as heard of a CBG... I love those kinds of gigs... You know, the "WTF is that" look on their faces... And then you just' let 'er rip and the "WTF is that" look melts away to "Holy Toledo" look... lol...

Still ain't figurated out the chat stuff but that's 'bout normal fir this ol' hillbilly...

Later, and thankx again R-Man and Les...
geez bob, ya just click on the chat thing and wait a sec and there ya are a celebrity!

i did in fact blow harp on "iced in blues" a few years back, it was the longest song i ever played all the way through on. i mean like 8 minutes or somethin! bob just had that much to say.

the hotel sounds intriguing. all i gotta do is wait for em here to get the lotto up and win a pile a dough, buy a road home, and head out east and north. leave a light on.

you won't believe Jolene's guitar chops either. even since the last/first cd she has come so far. we're gettin it together to do a shorty, mebbe 5 new originals.

soon's i lay hands on some hardware i am gonna begin a cbg project. nice weather means i can work on the back deck where there's some room to elbow around.
8 minutes, you say, J-Bone???

Danged... No wonder I don't do that song no more... But you sho nuff did a fine job on yer end on harp...

Lookin' forward to hearin' ya'lls new stuff... Joline takin' to the geeter like fish to water... That's a good thing...

I been toyin' with recording another CD this year 'cause I haven't recorded anything with the "Back Porcher" that Ted made me or my Lowebow... And Les is making me a diddly-bow and I kinda want to do somethin' that has that Jessie Mae Hemphill sound and ya' need a diddly-bow fir that...

Well, speakin' of the old hotel... I can hear it callin' my name so gotta put on my grubbies and play "Bob the Plumber"...
